After a warning shot from Ziyech early in the match, Maddison fired on Mendy across the street. His low place ball slammed hard against the ropes in the short corner.
Chelsea’s response was not long in coming. In the fifteen minutes Lukaku was face to face with Schmeichel, until Amartey suddenly appeared as an unwanted guest in the chat. The defender prevented the equalizing goal, much to his delight.
Chelsea monopolized the ball and went in search of the hole in the Leicester defence. Castagne and his teammates held the fortress until Alonso equalized the score with a volley.
Romelu Lukaku always wanted to make his mark on the match and was present in the airspace of Stamford Bridge. The Red Devil divided the game via the long ball, among others Pulisic refused to finish imposed opportunities.
No, it was not Lukaku’s evening again. But not that of his employer either. Chelsea got no further than dominance without a finished product in the second half. With the draw, Tuchel is 3 points ahead of Tottenham, good for 3rd place certainty.
